BevelJet Technology

The capabilities of 2-D Abrasive Water Jet (AWJ) process can be enhanced by the addition of 5-axis capability. This is particularly useful in sectors such as Nuclear, Oil & Gas, Aerospace and Power Generation. Water Jet Sweden accomplishes this with the provision of the BevelJet™ 60. The Beveljet 60 Cutting tool is available on all Premium and Grand models.

One of our UK customers has been able to rationalise their processes while improving dimensional quality by the introduction of BevelJet technology. Previously they profiled their plates by thermal process, mill machining back that material, then machining the weld preparation. Today, the job is completed in a single hit, reducing lead time by 3 working days and eliminating any errors associated with multiple set-up.

5-Axis Head
In its most basic form, the 5-axis head can be easily programmed from a 2-D cad file to create a variety of bevels on the plate edge. Such features are commonly required to provide weld preparations. Full 5-axis articulation allows these bevels to follow contours on the profile without the need for solid models or any dedicated 5-axis programming techniques.

Extremely Versatile
The Grand provides a wide range of design options. Popular in specialised job shops and as workstation in industry production lines, each machine is tailored to fit the customer process requirements, easily adopted for multi-job processing and unmanned operations.

Robust, Heavy Duty
The Grand offers the largest tables sizes with a robust heavy-duty design to manage large and odd size materials. Thanks to a worldwide patented guide system all machines have the same tolerance, independent of size.
